Fan Verification
MainStage allows users to connect their Spotify or Apple Music account to help verify real fan activity. Instead of relying only on account sign-ups, the platform looks at listening patterns to better understand if a user actually follows and supports an artist. This helps create a more fair system by prioritizing people who genuinely engage with the music, rather than accounts created just to purchase and resell tickets.
Ticket Access System
MainStage uses a more controlled ticket access process designed to give verified users a better chance at purchasing. Rather than relying only on speed or random placement in line, the system considers fan activity and engagement. This helps reduce the advantage that bots and resellers typically have and creates a more balanced experience for users trying to attend events.
Purchase Limits
To prevent bulk buying, MainStage places limits on how many tickets a single account can purchase or hold. These limits are designed to reduce the ability for the same users to repeatedly buy large amounts of tickets and resell them. By controlling volume at the account level, the platform helps distribute tickets more evenly among fans.
Resale Monitoring
MainStage tracks ticket activity to help reduce extreme resale pricing and identify suspicious patterns. If tickets are being resold at significantly higher prices or in large quantities, the system can flag or restrict that behavior. This helps keep ticket prices closer to their original value and discourages unfair resale practices.
Fan Rewards Program
MainStage includes a loyalty-based rewards system that recognizes active users. Fans can earn points through engagement, such as consistent listening, attending events, or using the platform regularly. These points can be used for benefits like early ticket access, priority opportunities, or exclusive fan perks. This adds another layer of value for users who stay active and engaged.
